| Last night, I rolled my wheelchair on the computer table and I think I broke it because it is damaged and won't hold up much, so I need to replace the table. So, earlier today I went to the Family Dollar store on Rhode Island Avenue in Washington, D.C. because I had bought a computer table from them. But they don't sell them any more, so I went down to the Home Depot at the shopping center adjacent to the Rhode Island Metrorail station.
They don't have them either, so I'll have to go on-line and buy a replacement desk. Well, anyway, I decided that for some reason I wanted a pastrami on rye. So I'd go over to the Giant Food on the other side of the shopping center across from Home Depot. So I go over to the deli section and discover they have pastrami, but it's $13.00 a pound. That's a little too expensive, so I ask where they have package meats, and they have 7 ounce packages for about $3.25 or so, which is about $7.50 a pound. Which is a bit more reasonable. So anyway I went to the register with two of these packages of pastrami and a loaf of rye bread, about $8.50, so I decide to use one of the self-service registers. The first four registers are self-service. I'm at register 3, and I ring up the items, but, in Washington, DC, the store is required to charge for bags, so I need to find the selection for the 5c for the plastic bag. (I wasn't planning to pick up anything at the grocery when I left or I'd have brought a bag with me.) So with help from a clerk I find it, then I ring up everything, and I decide to use my food stamp card since I haven't used it in a while; as a disabled man I get a whopping $15 a month (it used to be $16 but the extra federal contribution was cut). Since I haven't used it in a while I have about $45 in my account. So the whole thing gets covered, except for the 5c bag fee. So I check my pouch and I have a lot of change, I find a nickel and insert it in the coin slot, but it rolls back out. I try again, and it fails again. The clerk informs me that register 3 doesn't accept nickels. Dimes and quarters are okay, but not nickels. So I put a quarter in, that finishes it and the register returns 20c in change. I guess register 3 doesn't like the taste of nickels, so it won't eat them. |
